Teen counseling services in Denver
Everyday life for today’s teens can be complicated, and our experienced Denver teen therapists can help. Our team collectively has over 100 years of experience working with teens in different contexts, and we have conveniently located offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree near local middle schools and high schools.
Do you think your teen is having issues with managing their emotions, depression, or body image issues? Do they have low self-esteem, or an eating disorder? Many parents worry about teens developing addiction issues or struggling with peer pressure at school or with their friends. Any of these issues can affect your teen’s mental health, academic performance, and relationships.
In the past decade, 40% more teens have persistent feelings of sadness and self-esteem issues. According to the National Institute of Health, about 1 in 3 teenagers has issues with anxiety, and up to 20% of teens have engaged in self-harm. It’s a lot for teens to handle, and the pressures of social media, TikTok trends, and peer pressure only make it more complicated for you as a parent.
The good news is that therapy can help. Statistics have shown that about 75% of people who start therapy benefit from it. Our teen therapists can help your teen develop effective coping skills, have an outlet to share what’s really happening in their lives, and process their emotions and experiences during this critical period of their lives. Many teens find that their time with their time is one of the most influential and important hours of their week.
Contact us today, and one of our teen therapists will get in touch with you to help your teen get started.
Benefits of teen counseling in Denver
Safe space
Provides a place for teens to feel heard and understood without the peer pressure that comes with their teenage years.
Learn skills
Discover different skills to help your teen face fears, reduce stress, or communicate effectively during a time of change.
Resolve problems
Help teens sort through their many life stressors and negative thoughts. Whether they have issues at home, work, or school, we help them find practical solutions and perspective.
Express feelings and emotions

Privacy
Teenagers can share and get guidance that’s private. It can be helpful to have a third party there to listen to them in therapy without judgement.
Objective perspective
Sometimes, your teen is experiencing is a regular part of growing up. Other times, there could be something that they need help addressing.
Consistency
When your teen establishes a relationship with a therapist, your teen and family have someone who knows them as they grow up.
Does your teen actually need therapy?
When your teen’s behavior changes or you notice that they’re struggling with their relationships or classwork, or losing interest in their activities, it can be a good time to check in with them. However, as many parents know, teens sometimes have an easier time opening up to someone who isn’t a parent.
Contrary to what some may believe, teens don’t need to have a diagnosed mental illness or condition to see a therapist. It’s very normal for a teenager to go to therapy for any number of reasons, including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, eating disorders, and body image issues.
In most cases, many teens enjoy talking to their own therapist to have dedicated time that’s about them. Some teens come to us before things happen, while others are looking for help recovering from specific experiences, like grief or trauma to help them process and move forward in a healthier, more positive mental state.
